Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

After the Life Crystal was taken, Lianyi's face was full of smiles, and she could hardly stop smiling.

She paused for a while before taking out another jade bottle. The bottle was smooth and warm, and even through the light screen, one could feel a calm and oppressive aura.

Once the audience's attention had returned, she slowly began to speak: "Next up is the final item of this auction: Boundless Divine Liquid. Starting bid: one million."

The audience erupted in excitement once again.

The Boundless Divine Liquid is a renowned sacred object in the Primordial Void Universe, possessing an extremely strong purifying and strengthening effect on the souls of cultivators.

Besides the Life Crystal, this is another item that all the major powers are vying for when they come here.

The starting bid of one million for this treasure was merely a formality; everyone knew its true value was far greater than that.

"Two million." Li Qingfeng was the first to raise his paddle.

"Three million," Zhang Wenyuan followed closely behind.

"Five million." Han Miaoke added a sip as well.

Prices soared, reaching eight million, ten million, twelve million... The Myriad Laws Sect began making frequent bids, even more aggressively than when bidding on spirit crystals, clearly indicating that this was their true objective.

Lin Chen sat in VIP room number ten, watching the fierce bidding below the stage, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

He waited several rounds until the price stabilized around 15 million before pressing the bid button: "20 million."

The audience fell silent for a moment when the numbers appeared on the screen.

The No. 10 private room remained silent throughout the entire auction. Everyone assumed it was a room reserved for the Luofu Chamber of Commerce, and no one expected that there would be anyone inside.

The offer of 20 million is not particularly high, but the fact that "someone is sitting inside" is enough to attract attention.

The two men in black in the corner exchanged a glance. The man nodded slightly, and the two slowly got up and left their seats.

Lianyi didn't linger and continued with the quote according to procedure: "Twenty million for the first time."

"Twenty-two million." Li Qingfeng raised an eyebrow and continued to raise the price.

"Twenty-five million." Han Miaoke followed again.

"Thirty million," Hu Tianhai also made his bid.

"Forty million," Lin Chen said calmly.

"Fifty million." Fu Ming also made his move.

"One hundred million." Lin Chen immediately doubled the amount.

He had inquired with Fang Yao and learned that the last time the Boundless Divine Liquid was sold in the Chaotic Domain, it fetched a price of one hundred million.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he doubled it!

The others also turned to look in the direction of room number ten.

The other party was sitting in the exclusive private room of the Luofu Chamber of Commerce; they were either members of the Chamber or honored guests.

The Luofu Chamber of Commerce is the true overlord of the Chaotic Domain, and those who can sit in that private room are naturally not to be underestimated in terms of wealth.

More importantly, they didn't participate in the bidding for the Life Crystals at all during the entire auction; they showed no interest in buying them at all—either they didn't like them or they didn't need them.

This gesture carries more weight than any offer.

"One hundred and ten million." After a long silence, Fu Ming finally gave the answer.

"One hundred and fifty million." Lin Chen didn't even lift his eyelids.

Upon hearing this number, Zhang Wenyuan and the others shook their heads and immediately put down the sign.

Hu Tianhai of the Wanfa Sect looked at Room 10 with a gloomy expression. He had come for nothing today, not only getting nothing but also solidifying the Wanfa Sect's reputation as a poor wretch, losing face completely.

However, he thought more deeply than others. He didn't believe that the people in the private room were from the Luofu Chamber of Commerce. If they really were from the Luofu Chamber of Commerce, how could they not come out and greet the other families?

They are most likely VIPs of the Chamber of Commerce! And they are either owners of the Life Crystal or owners of the Boundless Divine Liquid.

He was more convinced it was the former! His eyes were fixed on room number ten, lost in thought, two phrases echoing in his mind: "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food." And: "Fortune favors the bold!"

Fu Ming remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head and refusing to raise the price further.

Although the Boundless Divine Elixir is precious, it is not entirely without substitutes.

The reason why Wuliang Sect doesn't sell it is because of high consumption, not because it's scarce.

This divine liquid that flowed into the Chaotic Domain is likely just a private stockpile left by sect disciples. It's not worth the current premium.

Ripples swept across the room, and after confirming that no one else was raising their paddle, they slowly announced, "One hundred and fifty million for the first time."

"One hundred and fifty million, the second time."

It paused for a moment.

"150 million, third time, sold."

With the sound of the gavel falling, the auction finally came to an end.

Some people have already gotten up and left, while others are still sitting in their seats talking quietly.

On the second floor, outside Lin Chen's private room, two men in black were already hiding.

"The target is inside," the woman whispered to the man, her tone certain.

"Shall we make our move now?" The man's eyes lit up.

"Not now." The woman glanced at the guards around her. "Let's figure out who the target is first, then follow them."

The man frowned and continued to transmit his voice: "This person just photographed the Boundless Divine Liquid, presumably to remove the mark."

"That's probably it, so we only have this one chance."

Inside private room number ten, the door was gently knocked on again.

Then, Xiao Li pushed open the door and came in, smiling at Lin Chen, and handed him a spatial ring: "Mr. Lin, this is the remaining source crystals from your auction. After deducting the handling fee and your expenses, you still have 240 million mid-grade source crystals left."

Lin Chen took the ring and scanned it with his divine sense. The source crystal and the boundless divine liquid were both correct.

"Please thank your young lady for me."

"I will. Also, my young lady has invited Mr. Lin to dinner to celebrate the successful conclusion of the filming." Xiao Li added.

"No problem. Besides, I'd like to discuss a business deal with Miss Lianyi." Lin Chen nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lin Chen followed Xiao Li out of the private room, chatting and laughing.

When he came out, the two men in black in the shadows immediately looked at him.

Lin Chen sensed something, stopped, and looked towards where the two had been, but there was no sign of them anywhere.

He couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lin?" Xiao Li asked when she saw Lin Chen stop.

"It's nothing." Lin Chen shook his head and continued to leave with Xiao Li.

As their figures disappeared into the passage, the figures of two men in black reappeared in the wall.

"How can someone at the tenth level have such keen spiritual senses?" The woman felt uneasy.

"Could it be an accident?" The man didn't seem to care much.

"Perhaps." The woman was also puzzled. "The other party is indeed only at the tenth level, but he is still a distinguished guest of the Luofu Chamber of Commerce. We can only keep an eye on him for now."

The man nodded: "Yes, there are quite a few level 12 experts at this stronghold of the Luofu Merchant Guild. If we make a move here, we might not be able to escape."

The two then left the auction house.

Lin Chen, led by Xiao Li, arrived at a small banquet hall. Lian Yi had not yet arrived.

He could only sit there in a daze, his brows furrowed tightly. The moment he stepped out of the private room, he felt a sudden pang of fear, as if he had been stared at by a venomous snake.

Looking back, there was nothing there, but this feeling has not disappeared.

He now realized that he was being watched by someone.

But who could this be? Someone from one of the top ten powers? It doesn't seem likely; apart from Lianyi, no one else recognizes me.

Could it be someone from the Qian Yuan Chamber of Commerce? But they are so far away, they shouldn't be able to find me so quickly.

"What is Mr. Lin thinking about?" Ripples' voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh, I wasn't thinking about anything." Lin Chen put away his worries and smiled when he saw Lianyi enter the banquet hall.

Lianyi didn't think much of it, and soon one delicious dish after another was served, which broadened Lin Chen's horizons once again.
